iMPR'oveMNr iN Tv GUNS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and malnng parl: of thesame.

To all to whomlhesepresents shall come Be it known that I, JOHN GOODALE,of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and `State .ofl Massachusetts,have-made an invention of a novel and attractive T oy Gnu; and do herebydeclare the following to be'a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, due refer ence being had to the accompanying drawing makingpart ot' this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinalsection. Figure 2, a vertical andtransverse section.-

Figure 3, a partial longitudinalsection of a toy gun I the stop, and, asa necessary consequence, eject from embodying my invention.

The accompanying drawliug represents at A a toy or minature tire-arm, ofwhich a is the stock, b'the barrel, c theA ramrod, d the hammer or cock,e the nipple, and fthe trigger, suchcomponent parts being arranged inthe ordinary manner of such articles.

, In rear ofthe bore g of the barrel, and in open coni-J municationtherewith, is a chamber, a', 'ot' enlarged area, such chamber'containing the hammer, trigger,

andspring, which constitute the lock` of the arm.k f

Sliding freely within the bore of the barrel` is disposed a block orbar, h, tl1e rear end of which is formed th`stock below the lbarrehandwhich issecured at itsV rear end to the forward end 'of the saidcatch-bar, the

forward end ofthe spring being in turn secured to the outerv end of thebarrel or its stock.

`- The bar orfejetor, as it may be properlytermed,

brings up f (when in its extreme forward position) against a stop, 4o,formed in the lower part of the barl'el.

' A ramrod is-representediii the drawing at o as de posited within thelower part of the stock in the manner usual with-firearms.

.A With this rami-od a child may push back theejec'- tor until itstrikes the hammer, when the continuation ofthe movement will cock suchhammerand at the same time cause thev hook of the ejector to seizetheprojection k before mentioned, o1' the ham- ,mer may, if desirable,be cocked previous to pushing back the ejector.

As the spring is distended movement of the ejector, the release of thesaid spring by the fall of the hammer (induced by afpull upon thetrigger) will drive the ejector suddenly forward against the barrel withconsiderable force a marble or other missile which mayhave beenintroduced into such barrel and against the ejector.

The fait of the hammer explodes a percussion-cap which has previouslybeen deposited' upon the nipple le, and thus to the flight-of the missie adds the report ol such an explosion.

In place of the ramrod, as a means of driving back or setting theejector, I havecontemplated attachxing to the side of such ejector aknob, which shall pass through a-slotin the side of the barrel, orthrough hoththe barrel and the stock, and b'ymeans ofwhichv Suchmovement of the ejector may readily be effected.
